Even with Evander Kane, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with the idea of trading Shinkaruk or Horvat. They are untouchables in my opinion.......although in all fairness, Sheldon Kennedy was an untouchable once upon a time as well.

Horvat and Shinkaruk are almost guaranteed to be impact players at some point in my opinion. The question however, is if they can become impact players while still on entry level contracts.........while the twins, Kes, and Lou are still playing at their current levels. If such a situation were to occur, our chances of winning a Stanley Cup would be as good as it was between 2010-2012.

Yup, if not for Edler's NTC and high salary. With Enstrom, Bogo, Buff and rookie Trouba, I'm not sure Chevy is looking to beef up his D. Particularly if he's sacrificing his top offensive asset without a top six returning.

It's too early to say Hunter and Bo will be sure-fire pros, but I can see why its easy to get excited. To acquire an existing top six - potential franchise sniper - there's got to be a significant piece going back.

Dealing one of the top prospects for a player of Kane's caliber is a no-brainer, particularly with this clubs prospect pool. None of Van's kids should be untouchable.
